Why does it say “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”? If the authors meant any person who can sneak into the country and pop out an offspring, it already says “All persons born or naturalized in the United States...” so what is the purpose of that phrase?

It excludes foreign diplomats and, at the time, Indians who were not US citizens. They are now.

Where does it say that? I read it again and I still don't see it there.
